@kravietz @cstross Thank Putin and COVID for those problems, everything was affected, including nukes. Actual data says average cost overruns for nukes is 120%, for solar it is 5%. Solar deployments are increasing year on year, because they are so damn cheap. Eg. in the first nine months this year Pakistan, installed 17GW of solar, causing reductions in grid demand. Over the year, they will produce the equivalent of a 3.5GW nuke, trying building one of those in 9 years, let alone 9 months.
